Paphos Life

I know we rarely have to show a Covid Pass now but we have always used a printed version along with our vaccination card. We are going on holiday shortly so I thought I would download the Pass app to my phone. It has downloaded ok but when I try to access, it asks me to log in using my biometric cre...

Thanks for that Paul

We are intending going for our 5th jab this week & I was wondering if the road was still closed

How do you get a 5th Jab? According to a press release on 14th September https://www.pio.gov.cy/en/press-releases-article.html?id=30046#flat the 3rd & 4th Covid boosters are ongoing but as far as I am aware there is no date set for a 5th vaccination. I did read that a 5th vaccination would proba...

Thank you Trev

The last time we used the cruise port was I think in 2017 when it was fairly new & didn’t have many facilities.

Can anyone remind me please at which junction to come off the motorway travelling from Paphos.

Thanks mouse. I had a feeling that was the case. Good job it's not urgent then!

Any recommendations would be appreciated for a Gesy vascular surgeon in Paphos or one who comes to Paphos.

I emailed the road transport department yesterday & suprisingly received the following reply today: echrysanthou@rtd.mcw.gov.cy 11:17 Hello, I refer to your email and I would like to inform you that it is possible to register a private car in two names. Kind regards, Eleftheria Chrysanthou So I ...

Well all I can do is trot out the old saying "this is Cyprus".

When we changed our car last year ANW Cars, who are very knowlegeable about anything to do with cars, told us that vehicles are no longer held in bond until probate is completed.

Also we had our old car registered in both our names & customs told us that is not allowed.

I had this problem.
Are you putting your TIC numbers in the boxes next to your pensions?
These should be left blank as TIC numbers only apply to Cypriot entities.
Solved my problem, hope it does yours.

In Paphos town & previously in Tala we have/had the recycling process now running in Polis. This is not the same as the Pay as You Throw system which is to be introduced in all areas. The system has been up & running for some time in Aglantzia which is a suburb of Nicosia. I’m assuming it wi...

I think the sheer number of flights, a lot of them landing very close together, doesn't help the car park problem. I hope the ground staff are well paid! Tonights flights into Paphos Ryanair - Venise Treviso - 19:15 Ryanair - Amman - 19:20 Jet 2 - Bristol - 19:30 Lufthansa - Munich -19:35 Ryanair - ...

I had the same trouble & emailed the tax department. The TIC number relates to Cyprus entities so for UK Pensions you leave the field blank. It worked for me.

Thank you sunspot.

sunspot I would appreciate simple instructions on how to get the reference number on the tax portal. I went round & round in circles & eventually gave up to try again another day!

The past couple of years or so it’s been a doddle doing my husband’s tax return as a lot of the information was already entered. This year there were some amendments to the form & I ended up making a few errors which the system wouldn’t let me correct. I emailed the tax office on Friday & wa...

Jeba, you say that your German driving licence does not have an expiry date, perhaps you need to be sure it is still legal to use in Cyprus if you have been a resident for 2 years as a driving licence here is only valid for 15 years. https://europa.eu/youreurope/citizens/vehicles/driving-licence/dri...

I think most of us who have renewed a driving licence know that we get a temporary one until the new one is issued. If people followed the thread instead of just reading the opening post they would see that on May 6th gerryg said that he cannot get an appointment until the 23rd May BUT his licence E...

The census began on the 1st October but I seem to remember they were having trouble employing enough enumerators. We had a very nice young lady do ours either that month or early in November but we live in Paphos town, it’s going to take a lot longer to track down people in the country & who liv...
